"I wish I could change everything that happened, but I can't," San Hamel said. "I just hope that you can feel some kind of remorse for me or forgiveness in your heart. ... I live with that moment every day, every minute, every time I lay down and try to sleep."

The judge said he took San Hamel's remorse into consideration for sentencing.

In addition to his 10 days in jail, San Hamel was sentenced to four years of probation and was ordered to cover all of Cann's funeral costs -- about $25,000.
